Biography
Andrew Trollope was born into a family of Durham dyers, and he began his long military career in France in the 1420s as a man-at-arms during the Hundred Years' War. By 1442, he had risen to the rank of lieutenant, and he became Master Porter of Calais in 1455. During the Wars of the Roses, he initially sided with the Yorkists, only to betray Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York to the Lancastrians at Ludford Bridge on 12 October 1459. He assisted in the defeat of the Yorkists at Wakefield a year later, and he led the Lancastrian vanguard at the Battle of Towton in 1461. Trollope and his son were both killed in battle.
